Hey Black, i like the pause menu in the immersive skin and think something like that fits your skin too...
Maybe with a progressbar round the pause icon like on the home screen...

Great skin.
I was using it happily in windows before, but have now moved to OpenElec, and the program information seems to be missing in the EPG:Timeline.
Is there an easy way to turn on the program descriptions?
TBH, I don't know much about what settings you can change in the skin. Is there some sort of guide? I've heard about the Metro interface, but I don't know what it is (ah, after a quick google search, I assume it is the tile like home screen)... I'm sure there is loads I'm missing out on.

Hi Black,
I thought that I would ask the man direct is there any future thoughts regarding music videos? I honestly think that music videos are more important than MP3's simply because you can download and install an album on XBMC within minutes and have say 10 songs straight away. Yet with music video's you might want just one or two from an album or an artist and then you need to have much more time regarding music video selections. As you would really be creating your own MTV.
Regards
Mark

The priority for music videos is very, very, very low. However in the next update the info dialog will work with music videos but that's just about it for now.

Cheers for the reply Black I can appreciate that you like others work hard on XBMC. I am finding new stuff such as VoxCommando to play with and new tricks to make XBMC tweaked a bit more. Although you say that music video is very very very low but using an example not just for a skin, but also XBMC but using the command VoxCommando Party Mode as a voice command, and just using party mode as in general if you have 1,000 albums x 10 songs = 10,000 tracks. On average 2 of those 10 songs will get released off the album, so 1,000 x 2 songs so 2,000 tracks might be the more catchier tunes that you wish to play at a party. Those 2,000 songs you might have downloaded as music videos, the other 8,000 are tracks that you might not like. Music videos not just from this skin but also XBMC and party mode are more important than some will give credit for.

Yes but it has to be done differently. XBMC doesn't need the music video section. You should be able to play video right off the song list in the music section. So there is maybe a small indicator if a video is present and you can choose to play it or play just the song. You should also be able to choose if XBMC should automatically play the video if available in the music visualisation so if you have a party playlist it automatically plays the videos. Additionally a script could allow to play videos directly from YouTube if there is no local video present.

I wrote could so there is no such script available yet.

There is no way because they are on by default and you can't disable them. It's working fine here with OpenELEC and Tvheadend so you either use the wrong skin version (googlecode repo instead of github) or there is something wrong with your pvr setup.
